Baby Registry help!

I did my registry today. Any advice from moms on what the must-haves are for a newborn/infant. I already registered for bedding, carseat, highchair, humidifier, boppy pillow, playpen, bath stuff, etc...

Highchairs and play yards and stuff can really wait till later. At this point I'd say I couldn't live without her bouncy chair and swing. The chair is great to bring into the bathroom with you so you can shower! Also breast pumps and nursing covers if you plan to nurse!!

If you tell people that you ar having a girl or a boy, they will buy you a bunch of clothes. Thats it. Nothing from your registry. They all want to buy a ton of cute little new born sized clothes that your baby will only wear once.

The blankets and diapers and practical stuff, like nipple cream and bottle brushes and nursing pads and wipes.... That's what you need.
